Hi, there could be many things that could cause the "click". Check to make sure the battery cables are clean and tight. Next make sure the battery is up to charge. If those check out try to turn the engine over by hand using a ratchet and socket. If the engine turns over by hand, make sure the wiring at the starter is secure and clean. If you have a remote starter switch set it up so that you can bypass the ignition switch to rule that out.
